    Marvel comics - about 90% of the heroes have alliterative names too.

    (Most film people change a name to be more alliterative so they are more easily remembered.)

    Our DD's name is a GG...it sounds perfectly fine and seems to flow quite nicely.

    Alot depends on the names and how they sound together.
    DS is MM and no one has or would refer to him as m'n'm.

    Should be fine! We are worried about us all having alliterated names, LOL!
    We all have initials AS - slightly different, however amusing... certainly has put me off hyphenating when e get married too... A S-S

    I had the same concern with DS and ended up not choosing an M name because of the alliteration but I think it was more the nickname of that certain name paired with the surname IYKWIM?

    I actually like them - I think it can have a really nice ring depending on the name
    When I got married I became a BB... one of the boys names we like starts with a B.
